Some questions...
I’ve been through with love… with all the hurt and old pain…
And yet here you come in an ordinary day…
A smile… a text… a call…
Am I climbing up again just to fall???
‘Yan ang mga katagang nanggaling mula sa isang taong malapit sa puso ko. Masasabi ba talaga nating “tapos na” tayo sa larangang ito? O kaya nama’y pinagdaanan na natin ang lahat? Oo nga’t minsan nakakasawa na at nakakapagod na ang masaktan nang sobra sobra.
Bakit kaya ganun? Kung kalain ka halos umikot at mainip sa kahihintay ng isang “someone” biglang may darating? Kung kailan feeling mo hindi ka handa.. kung kailan tila napaka-komplikado ng mga bagay-bagay. Wala ba talagang perfect timing para dito? Bakit di pwedeng umayon ang lahat ng bagay, tao at pangyayari sa iyong kagustuhan?
Kailangan bang magsimulang muli sa kawalang katiyakan? Kakayain pa kayang magmahal upang masaktang muli? Mahihigitan ba nito ang kasiyahan mula sa mga nagdaan?
Siguro nga’y mas mabuti pang hayaan na lang ang tadhana ang syang magdikta kung ano ang mga mangyayari. Isa lang ang napakahalagang bagay na makasisigurado na maipagpatuloy ang lahat ng ito… ang kasiyahan ng damdamin sa kasalukuyan…

Cebu?! B?
Ang bilis ng panahon. Mahigit limang buwan na akong namamalagi dito sa Cebu ng dahil sa trabaho. May mga bagay na meron dito na wala sa Maynila at meron din naming kabaliktaran. May mga bagay/taong kinailangan isakripisyo para sa ibang mas mahalagang bagay sa buhay ko… kung kaya ako nandito ngayon. Gusto ko lang mag-senti kaya ibinibigay ko sa inyo ang…
Sampung bagay sa Maynila na nami-miss ko…
1) Sumakay sa airconditioned bus mula Ayala hanggang Edsa.
> Paano naman kasi walang city bus dito sa Cebu. Yung tipong minimum fare lang. Tatlo lang ang alam kong mode of public transportation dito sa siyudad: jeep or multicab, taxi at habal-habal (i.e. motorcycle -- not tricycle ha – na bumabiyahe at kaya ang hanggang limang pasahero!)
2) WENDY’s
> Oo walang bacon mushroom melt at frosty dito!!! Ayon sa aking napag-alaman, dati raw ay may Wendy’s dito ngunit sa di mawaring dahilan ay wala na ngayon.
3) 7-11 at Mini-stop
> Sa dinami-dami ng convenience store (particularly 7-11 and mini-stop) sa area ng Valero, maniniwala ba kayong walang ganun dito?!?! Oo! The closest they have is “C24”. My goodness, nakaka-miss din pala ang mga tindahang ito kahit na mag-aamoy fried chicken ka maski 5 minutes ka lang sa mini-stop or maski palaging tunaw na ang slurpee sa 7-11 hahaha!
4) Mga “walkway at underpass”
> Ngayon ko lang mas na-appreciate ang walkway at underpass. Dati, puro reklamo pa ako kapag mahaba ang lalakarin namin (e.g. from Paseo to Landmark) to think covered walk naman ang dadaanan namin. Sa sobrang init dito sa Cebu, nakakatuyo ng dugo ang mga pagkakataong kailangan mong maglakad.
5) G4. Greenbelt. Eastwood. Powerplant.Greenhills.
> Napakaraming malls na pagpipiliaang puntahan. Dito kasi sa Cebu they only have Ayala Center and SM. The rest are not comparable to the Manila-standard malls. Wala ata akong maalalang time na may “midnight madness” dito sa mall.
6) Redbox
> Ang isa sa favorite kong puntahan twing Saturday lunch time! Nakakaganda ng boses ang audio hehehe. Cebu has Pod5 and K1 but still nothing compares to Redbox. Syempre pa nakakamiss din yung mga regular kong ka-back-to-back-to back song numbers…
7) Ang mga nagkalat na Jollijeep sa Makati
> Napaka convenient talaga dahil isang baba mo lang sa office, mamili ka na lang ng jollijeep na bibilhan mo ng tingi-tinging yosi at kung anu-ano pa. I think 500 pesos per day ang rent nila dyan ha ayon sa kaibigan kong si Ate Angie.
8) TAHO sa umaga
> Maski sa napakaagang oras ng alas-tres ng madaling araw, may makikita kang nagbebenta ng taho especially sa mga call center area.
9) Mga TV shows na hindi available sa regional area. Hahaha!
10) Family and friends… needless to explain… (senti music on queue)
I love Cebu because…
1) Most (if not all) taxi drivers here give change to their passengers! Oh yes, maski P2.50 pa ‘yan, don’t be surprised if hahabulin ka pa nila just to give you your change. Sa Manila… needless to explain!
2) The city is just so close to nature especially to the beach! Mactan is like half an hour drive. You also have Danao, Dalaguet, Moalboal atbp. And of course, BOHOL is just a boat-ride away!
3) The food is so affordable! You can have a decent meal for as low as 30 pesos in your regular cafeteria set-up.
4) Special mention restos:
> AA’s for the grilled meat and seafood (try grilled KITONG da best!)
> CnT for their delicious “mang tomas”-less lechon
> CASA VERDE for their baby back ribs (mind you, the size they serve would cost no less than 600 bucks in Manila!)
> SUNBURST for their crispy chicken skin (good luck sa cholesterol) and yummy chopsuey plus rapsang wepaks ng nokma (Hi to B’ley and Omeed)
> THE DESSERT FACTORY for my favorite ‘kinamatisang lechon kawali’
> DING QUA QUA for their Chinese cuisine buffet at only 165 pesos!
5) Eto quiet lang ha… you know those TIMEZONE stubs on your AYALA movie tickets that you can only be good on purchase date? Well, well, well… here in Cebu, timezone folks are accepting even up to one month old stubs! That’s why I enjoy playing here.
6) The everyday traffic situation is too tame compared to your regular EDSA or SSH morning and evening rush!
7) The overall environment upon exiting the office area is not stressful compared to Manila.
8) You can get a whole body massage for only 250 pesos and a foot massage for 50 bucks! Beat that!
9) Most of the people I work with here are so accommodating. I can say that at this point, wala pang bahid ng pulitika sa sistema ng mga katauhan nila. Mas tame ang mga intriga at nang-iintriga dito.
10) Lastly, I love Cebu because I simply choose to do so…
… I’ll be home soon…

YM Status can be so controversial...
"Not at my desk", "Busy", "Be right back", "Stepped out", "On the phone" and "Available".
These are your DEFAULT (and generic... and boring...) yahoo messenger status selection. I don't think I'm in any way referring to any of these as 'controversial'. I'll further stress my point by starting with a brief background.
I only started to use yahoo messenger way back 2003 when almost everyone in the office had it. At first I was enjoying chatting with people who are just a few arms length away -- yes i know looking back, it was so silly! Eventually, ym became an inevitable communiation tool at work. There are things at work that you need not necessarily email someone about. Of course if it's email you have to be as professional as possible even when discussing things with a co-worker who happens to be a friend too. Calling someone is not always a guarantee that you can talk to that person and it doesn't give you the excuse to have delayed responses! hahaha. Basta!
One thing I've noticed, my ym contact list are mostly people from the office. I'll only add you up if there is an 'official thing' that I have to communicate with you. And for those people who know me, I rarely respond right away if the messeges are personal. Sorry guys... but those are last priority. :-) An interesting part of ym'ing is checking the status of the people on your list.
You'll see status written on different languages. Some would show mood or emotions. Others would put messages intended for certain people. Yung iba nga, mga parinigan pa ang nakalagay sa status! Parts of songs and poems would always top the charts! As for me, I usually get mine from the movies I watch or from the books that I read. These are things that strongly agree with... or sometimes, opinions and situations that I can totally and ridiculously relate to!!!
Here are some of those I've used in the recent past (see comments and controversy rating (via *****) as well):
1) Horizon is an imaginary line that receeds as you approach it...
*I wouldn't be fooled again.... hahaha!!!
2) Every problem is an opportunity in disguise...
*Trying to convince others (or myself even) that problems can indeed be viewed in a different manner... in a way that would make you feel a little better (hopefully).
3) The hardest thing is loving someone and having the courage to make them love you back...
****What's further irritating is the fact that sometimes you simply don't (and can't) choose the person you are going to love. In the ideal world, why would someone expect to be loved in return eh sya naman ang nakaramdam ng pagmamahal towards another person. I mean the feeling to begin with it totally 'independent' of what the other person might feel, di ba?! Basta ganun!
4) Do not shake the hand that will stab you...
***Just be careful in trusting the people you work and deal with.
5) You are a walking contradiction ... and I find it rather quite fascinating...
*****It's funny how some people 'walk' the total opposite of whatever they are saying. If someone tells you that he/she doesn't feel anything special (or romantic) towards you and yet would do extremely sweet things to you... aba ewan ko na lang. Pero guess what, minsan nakakaaliw din itong mga taong ganito! They add up some spice and mystery in figuring out where to position one's self.
6) ...'Cause just around the corner's not enough...
**Yes! I can be so demanding especially to those people I love and truly care about. Call it KSP or anything but the likes of me needs more assurance on almost anything. I guess subconsciously I'm expecting that I'd be treated the way I treat others who are dear to me.
7) I just came to the point where I couldn't remember any of the reasons why we are together...
*****Ayokong dumating sa point na sasabihin ko ito first-hand! I mean parang naglolokohan lang kayo neto eh, you're with someone tapos di mo alam kung baket. Eh good luck naman kung san kayo dadalhin ng relasyon ninyo! I always get ym inquiries each time this becomes my status... hahaha!
8) True love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another...
***Masyadong high-level na 'to! Baka dumugo ilong ko... next item please!
9) In order to follow that heart, I must do the wrong thing...
****It's really difficult that sometimes, when we're inlove, we tend to do 'wrong' things (at least in other people's perspective) just so we feel satisfied... happy... fulfilled... inspired. But doesn't this make everything null and void? Wouldn't there be some feeling of guilt?
10) I have the worse thing to fear than what's in the jungle...
**And so I thought sometimes that my jungle (the workplace) is full of wild beasts... I came to a point when I realized that there are bigger fears that I should worry about... most of them unseen...
11) Sometimes you have to see what you are not in order to see what you are...
*This is so true... especially at times when you feel like you are worthless, ineffective, inefficient, unproductive, etc... it's looking at the glass as half-full not half-empty.
12) Just because you don't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there...
***How can you believe in something that you don't see... like love? At least you have your inner senses to feel it, right?! Just be careful, you might be assuming things wrong... oooopppsss... that could hurt a lot!
13) You are all that keeps me from slidin' into some dark place...
*****It gives me some sort of (immediate) relief to know that there could be someone or something that I can hold on to for me not to backslide... not to give up... BOX-OFFICE status ito! Daig pa ang Enteng Kabisote!
14) I wish it was simpler... I wish it was easier... and I'm sorry...
*****Nang sinabi kong di na kita mamahalin, akala ko'y mapaninindigan ko... sana nga ganun lang ito ka-simple at ka-dali... pero hindi... Pasensya na ha...
15) If some lives form a perfect circle... others take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand...
**trying to form my life in the most spontaneous way possible. There's some form of excitement of the unknown. (I'm sure may mag re react dito pag nabasa nya... )
16) The abilities say 'win' but the attitude says 'lose'...
*Sayang lang mga taong ma-abilidad, matalino, may talent... kaso mo kapag buraot (pardon me) ang ugali, wala ring kwenta. Or moreover kung sobrang daling mag give-up, nakakapanghinayang lang...
17) (pandesal+ketchup+orangejuice) + (kanin+gatas+asukal) = ?
***Yan ang kay Aga at Kristine sa All My Life... My version: (Kaning lamig + Ovaltine powder) = Brings back the child in me...
18) Just tell me when to stop and I will... but don't ask me how or where it all began...
*****I'd rather stop loving you if you want me to but I cannot possibly put into words or reason why or how everything began... No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to figure things out. I guess that's just the beauty of falling in love, it just happens without planning or expecting things...
19) He starts with the answers he wants and devices the questions to get them
**Bad trip kaya mga taong ganito... pero sometimes ganito rin ako hahaha!
20) It is in changing that we find purpose...
*Bitaw!
21) Life is manageable enough if you keep your hopes modest. The minute you allow yourself sweet dreams, you run the risk of crashing them down...
***Some form or reality-check huh?! On the otherhand, I think I'd still go for dreaming the bigger dreams... taking the big leap... taking big risks... If i do and find success in it, yahoo! The bigger the gains, right... Yun nga lang pag lumagpak ka, ARAY!!! But it's all a matter of how you survive and how resilient you are. Just move on and learn from it.
22) This is not a game but you keep playing it...
****Imagine how difficult your situation might be if you are trying to figure out who's going to tell who first in the game of love! Yes! Sa isang taong mataas ang pride at takot sa rejection, napaka hirap nito. Even if you try doing the first move, you won't simply just lay down all your cards until you get some form of assurance. But what if the other person is exactly on the same page?!?! Then there's a big problem! You'll end up doing the waiting and guessing game who's going to raise the white flag first!
23) The easiest way isn't always the best...
*Pwede kayang "doing it the easiest way yet coming up with the best..."? Hehehe try ko lang... baka makalusot!
24) Sometimes it's the people outside your world we confide in the best. But once you do... confide, share with someone, they're no longer really outside...
**Oo naman, wala na talaga sila sa labas! But seriously the nice thing kasi when confiding to people you don't really know is that you start everything with no judgment -- blank slate. The challenge is finding someone you don't know well that you can trust!
25) Why do things that start off so promisingly always have a way of ending up in the dump?
****Oo nga.. bakit nga ba? Someone help me understand... :( Sobrang believer pa naman ako ng happy endings...
26) A clean break is easier. You can reset it... and it heals, and you move on. But if you leave things messy or things dont get put right, then it just hurts... Forever....
*****Ouch!!!! to the nth power! That is why having proper closure is very important in any kind of relationship (that you are about to end of course). I know that this is so idealistic but it will eventually benefit both parties.

17) (pandesal+ketchup+orangejuice) + (kanin+gatas+asukal) = ?
***Yan ang kay Aga at Kristine sa All My Life... My version: (Kaning lamig + Ovaltine powder) = Brings back the child in me...
18) Just tell me when to stop and I will... but don't ask me how or where it all began...
*****I'd rather stop loving you if you want me to but I cannot possibly put into words or reason why or how everything began... No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to figure things out. I guess that's just the beauty of falling in love, it just happens without planning or expecting things...
19) He starts with the answers he wants and devices the questions to get them
**Bad trip kaya mga taong ganito... pero sometimes ganito rin ako hahaha!
20) It is in changing that we find purpose...
*Bitaw!
21) Life is manageable enough if you keep your hopes modest. The minute you allow yourself sweet dreams, you run the risk of crashing them down...
***Some form or reality-check huh?! On the otherhand, I think I'd still go for dreaming the bigger dreams... taking the big leap... taking big risks... If i do and find success in it, yahoo! The bigger the gains, right... Yun nga lang pag lumagpak ka, ARAY!!! But it's all a matter of how you survive and how resilient you are. Just move on and learn from it.
22) This is not a game but you keep playing it...
****Imagine how difficult your situation might be if you are trying to figure out who's going to tell who first in the game of love! Yes! Sa isang taong mataas ang pride at takot sa rejection, napaka hirap nito. Even if you try doing the first move, you won't simply just lay down all your cards until you get some form of assurance. But what if the other person is exactly on the same page?!?! Then there's a big problem! You'll end up doing the waiting and guessing game who's going to raise the white flag first!
23) The easiest way isn't always the best...
*Pwede kayang "doing it the easiest way yet coming up with the best..."? Hehehe try ko lang... baka makalusot!
24) Sometimes it's the people outside your world we confide in the best. But once you do... confide, share with someone, they're no longer really outside...
**Oo naman, wala na talaga sila sa labas! But seriously the nice thing kasi when confiding to people you don't really know is that you start everything with no judgment -- blank slate. The challenge is finding someone you don't know well that you can trust!
25) Why do things that start off so promisingly always have a way of ending up in the dump?
****Oo nga.. bakit nga ba? Someone help me understand... :( Sobrang believer pa naman ako ng happy endings...
26) A clean break is easier. You can reset it... and it heals, and you move on. But if you leave things messy or things dont get put right, then it just hurts... Forever....
*****Ouch!!!! to the nth power! That is why having proper closure is very important in any kind of relationship (that you are about to end of course). I know that this is so idealistic but it will eventually benefit both parties.

I guess that says it all for now...
Starting Over
This is so weird... I feel like a newbie doing this to think this is the 3rd time that I'm re(starting) my blog. It has been a loooooooooong while since I made this sort of journal. I guess for those people who frequent other people's blog would think that my blog entries are like "office memos" hahaha. HINT HINT: The things and the thoughts I've been translating into letters have mostly been work-related. Oh yes, poor me... what a boring life.
But what the heck, I think I have more time now to do this so I say whatever i want to say here hahaha! Just so my entries are organized (the way I would want them to be... walang pakialamanan please!), i'll put a separate entry on my first blog. :-)
